The French and Indian War cost King George and Great Britain a lot of money. To help for the war, the British colonies were ordered to:
A. give up their food
B. work for free
C. become a part of the army
D. pay taxes without representation

Answer 1

Hint: The national debt of Great Britain doubled to £140,000,000 by the end of the Seven Years Wars or the French and Indian War. The Prices of essential commodities increased.

Complete answer:
A global conflict that took place between 1756 to 1763 came to be known as the Seven Years War. It was a struggle between Great Britain and France for global supremacy.
King George II became the king of Britain, Ireland, Duke on June 11, 1727. His role was very significant in the Seven Years Wars.
In this larger imperial war, the North American conflict was the war between the Indians and the French. The French and Indian war came to an end with the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
This war created tensions and disputes between the French and the British as both countries wanted to extend their rule. The war between India and France had cost the British territory a lot of money, almost around £70,000,000 and the national debt of Great Britain doubled to £140,000,000. The British thought the colonists should help in clearing the debt. Therefore, the British increased taxes in England. Taxes were imposed on every good or commodity of everyday use in the colonies.
Thus the correct option is (D).

Note: A twenty-two years old, Lt. Colonel George Washington led a British unit that surprised the French army at the Battle of Jumonville Glen. It was fought on May 28, 1754. By the end of the war, anger and violence were even more evident.
